After several challenging years of going solo after divorcing Ike, Private Dancer propelled Turner into becoming a viable solo star, as well as one of the most marketable crossover singers in the recording industry. It became a worldwide commercial success, earning multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. To date, it remains her best-selling album in North America. Private Dancer produced seven singles, including "What's Love Got to Do with It", "Better Be Good to Me", "Private Dancer", and "Let's Stay Together". Positively received by critics on release for Turner's ability to give energy and raw emotion to slickly-produced professional pop/rock songs, its long term legacy is that the softening of her raw Southern soul style produced a "landmark" in the "evolution of pop-soul music". The album was promoted throughout 1985 in a 177-date worldwide tour entitled the Private Dancer Tour.

Foreign Affair is the seventh solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released on September 13, 1989 through Capitol Records. It was Turner's third album release after her massively successful global comeback five years earlier, and although the album was not a major success in Turner's native United States, it was a huge international success in Europe. The album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, her first number one album there. The album includes the single "The Best" which has gone on to become one of Turner's best-known songs.

Break Every Rule is the sixth solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released September 23, 1986 through Capitol Records. It was the follow-up to Turner's globally successful comeback album, Private Dancer, released two years earlier. Turner nearly scored her second Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit with the lead single "Typical Male," peaking at number two for three consecutive weeks in October 1986. "Two People" and "What You Get Is What You See" also became U.S. Top 30 hits. "Back Where You Started" earned Turner her third consecutive Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female in 1987.

После успеха альбома Cendres de Lune и хитов «Sans contrefaçon» и «Ainsi soit je…» у Фармер не возникло проблем с выпуском второго альбома, который был хорошо принят публикой, что позволило ей укрепить растущую популярность, таким образом предотвращая её от провала и ухода со сцены. Альбом продумывали в течение пяти — шести месяцев. Он был записан в студии Mega, на проспекте маршала Монури, в Париже (XVI округ Парижа) под руководством Тьерри Рогена, известного звукорежиссёра, который уже работал с Фармер и сотрудничал с Мишелем Сарду.
На обложке Фармер изображена в три четверти, где она представлена вместе с куклой, использованной в видео на песню «Sans contrefaçon». Фотографии буклета были сделаны Эльзой Триллиат.
Альбом был выпущен в апреле 1988 года и был встречен с большим успехом, как со стороны критики так и по продажам.

No Exit is the seventh studio album by the American rock group Blondie. Released in February 1999, it was the band's first album in 17 years and featured their UK number one hit single "Maria".

Альбом "Blondie" – это первый шаг заурядной панк-группы из Нью-Йорка к статусу мировой звезды. Завсегдатаям культового клуба KBGB удалось, в отличие многочисленных команд, с кем они делили сцену, подписать контракт на выпуск дебютного альбома с маленькой фирмочкой Private Stock Records. Их первый сингл, несмотря на свою яркость и очевидную хитовость, бойкотировали многие радиостанции. По этой причине название было заменено с "Sex Offender" на "Х-Offdender", и дела группы резко пошли в гору.

Beverley Craven is the debut album by British singer Beverley Craven. It was released in July 1990. The album was fully written by Craven herself.
Craven signed to Epic Records in 1988, and initially recorded the album with American producer Stewart Levine (of Simply Red fame). The initial results, however, were not of Craven's liking and, with the agreement of her label, she restarted from scratch working with Paul Samwell-Smith, who eventually produced the whole album. Levine's production of her songs were eventually released as b-sides to some of her singles, under the label "West Coast Version".

Some People's Lives is the seventh studio album by American singer Bette Midler, released on the Atlantic Records label in 1990. It contains one of her biggest hits, "From a Distance", which won the songwriter Julie Gold a Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1991.

Love Songs was the third Bee Gees compilation album in four years, though the first to cover a specific musical style.

"Alone" is a song by the Bee Gees. It is the opening track on the multi-platinum Still Waters album released by the Bee Gees in 1997, and the first single from the album. The song is a pop ballad written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb recorded in 1996. The track was a big hit worldwide, peaking at #5 in the UK and dominating the charts in Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia at #1. In the U.S. the single peaked at #28, making it their final top 40 hit in that country, after being a Billboard "Hot Shot" debut at #34.
